ChicagoRic Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 In seasons past this stat line would have been a disaster. Sure is nice to have a running game that does not flow through the QB. I like "Patient" Josh. 10 11 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlfaBill Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Every game is different and requires a new way to win that is the take away 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEBills Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 They played a lot of zone to protect against the QB scramble, also we crushed them and everything else was working great 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had 2 in 2022 and again, both big wins. You’re mistaking cause and effect lol 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyBills Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 (edited) Cook Murray and Harris - 30 carries 178 yards. 5.9 ypc Wow! Murray runs super violent. You'd think he was 5 years younger. Harris too. Great complements ro Cook Edited September 17, 2023 by JerseyBills 9 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgil Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 I have nothing to back this up, but I think the first drive and play calling was McD’s way of putting Josh in timeout after last weeks game. Coaches were making a message and Josh was trying to listen 2 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mabden Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 On a lot of plays,I could see Allen looking down field first, then went with the "safe" throw. I think it's more Josh being less selfish and more accountable to his team. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That's No Moon Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 And in 3 carries he still managed to attempt to leap over someone AND take an elbow to the head because he didn't slide. Amazing. 1 1 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong that should have been a hit on a Quarterback already on the ground. It wasn’t called Josh went down on that play. He was on the knee.

Joe Ferguson forever Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 I was totally wrong about Cook or....his attitude has done a 180 since last year. Maybe both. Looked fantastic today. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's more Josh being less selfish and more accountable to his team. I’ve never seen that side of Josh as “selfish” necessarily. It’s kind of how he’s always been wired and it’s an internal battle for him to play the way he did today and just take what the defense gives him. He’s a slinger at heart. He’ll get those opportunities again to sling though if he can prove he can consistently make defenses pay by taking the shorties but they’ll actually be good opportunities instead of forced ones.
